A few releases ago the JDE started checking the versions of required packages to ensure that the user has the correct version. This has been a mixed blessing because some of the required packages are evolving faster than the JDEE. This causes the JDEE's version checking code to signal an error when you use a version of a package that is later than the last last version tested with the JDEE. Generally the JDEE runs fine with the latest version of a required package. Fortunately, the JDEE allows you to turn off version checking (see jde-check-version-flag). So if you have the latest version of the required packages and you get a version checking error from the JDEE, turn off version checking. - Paul
